But yeah it's a reet laugh and the only way I play poker. Once every couple of months 4 of us get together and play for a pot of like £20 and it is great. I don't trust myself to play online

most have "pretend money" ones

pokerstars, full tilt, partypoker

generally change the .com to .net for the free version

the problem is that people tend to play stupidly as they can just reload their chips, small stakes real money games tend to be a better proposition, partypoker have really small stakes ( 10p or less ) single table tournaments and you will learn more playing these

I've only ever played strip poker

Is that where the "hold'em" came from?

You don't have to get the full table like Rotty has there, but Andrew and I had the table top which was perfect and looked soooo good

No where near the price and was a lot of fun!

We drag in our dodgy wobbly legged old plastic garden table and cover it with a cheapo black cloth

Grandads table ROCKS! And not in the way our wibbley one does

of course, a decent table top will set you back £50-60 , one like the one in my garage is a serious bit of kit and will cost £700+

Only once or twice did I do a dodgy shuffle I'll have you know! And that was to get other people in trouble and not to save my own removal of clothes (I was being mean

)

I only use slight of hand now when doing magic tricks

aggressive player raises from early position, I re raise, he calls

flop 6 8 T

and rivers a Q for bigger straight
